Čengić Family
The Čengić family () was a noble Ottoman Bosnian family of Turkoman origin that produced several notable lords in the Bosnia Eyalet of the Ottoman Empire. Origins The family is of ethnic Turkoman background and originates from Eğil, in present-day Turkey. Their paternal ancestor is İsfendiyar Bey who was a free vassal of Aq Quyunlu's Abul-Muzaffar. In 1498, Abul-Muzaffar freed İsfendiyar Bey's Eğil from paying taxes. In 1518 Selim I of the Ottomans conquered the Aq Qoyunlu's territory, including Eğil and expelled all the noble families, including İsfendiyar Bey who moved to Çankırı near Ankara, where he received a ziamet. Between 1498 and 1637 there are no records of his family. The oral tradition states that a descendant of İsfendiyar Bey, Kara Osman, arrived to Bosnia Eyalet in the 16th century. They were known after his hometown of Çankırı, first as Čangrlić and then Čengić. Kara Osman received a ziamet in the Borje, Foča. The oldest written record of t ...

Ziamet
Ziamet was a form of land tenure in the Ottoman Empire, consisting in grant of lands or revenues by the Ottoman Sultan to an individual in compensation for their services, especially military services. The ziamet system was introduced by Osman I, who granted land tenure to his troops. Later, this system was expanded by Murad I for his Sipahi. Background The Seljuq state, prior to the rise of the Ottoman State in the 14th century, utilized ziamets in an effort to implement provincial governors, who were also made subordinate chiefs in the military regime. In this pre-Ottoman period, timars were used with other tactics, such as building caravansaries, in an effort to sedentarize nomadic groups. The Ottoman state later took on this "timar system" after conquering Anatolia, and it represented just one of several institutions apparent in the Ottoman Empire derived from the Seljuq state. History The Ottoman Empire came into disarray due to problems asserting "central government c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
